Undated: Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi (born March 26, 1940) is an American politician serving as the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives since 2011. She previously served as the 52nd Speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011, the only woman to have done so, thus giving her the highest office a woman has held in U.S. political history.

A member of the Democratic Party, Pelosi represents California's 12th congressional district which consists of four-fifths of San Francisco. The district was numbered as the 5th during Pelosi's first three terms in the House, and as the 8th from 1993 to 2013. She served as the House Minority Whip from 2002 to 2003, and was House Minority Leader from 2003 to 2007. Pelosi is the first woman, the first Californian, and the first Italian-American to lead a major party in Congress. After the Democrats took control of the House in 2007 and increased their majority in 2009, Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House. After the Democrats lost House control in the 2010 elections, Pelosi remained the leader of the Democrats and thus Minority Leader from 2011 to 2019.[2] Democrats won the majority in the 2018 midterms and Pelosi is the Democrats' designee for Speaker in the upcoming election. If elected Speaker, Pelosi would become the seventh individual to return to the Speakership in non-consecutive terms of office.

December 11: Trump Throws Down With Pelosi and Schumer Over Border Wall: ‘I Am Proud to Shut Down the Government’

President Donald Trump threatened to shut down the government during a heated argument with Democratic congressional leaders in the Oval Office on Tuesday in a remarkable display of partisan bickering just 10 days before a partial shutdown is set to take effect.

“I am proud to shut down the government for border security,” Trump said bluntly. “I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work. I will take the mantle of shutting down. And I’m going to shut it down for border security.”

December 11: Pelosi brings up Trump 'manhood,' says meeting with him was like 'tinkle contest' with skunk

The Democratic minority leader, who is expected to become Speaker next month, made the comments after speaking with the president at the White House ... as soon as she returned from the White House, Pelosi strolled into a closed-door meeting in the Capitol basement, where fellow Democratic lawmakers were in the process of selecting committee chairs for the new Congress, and questioned Trump’s manhood.

“It’s like a manhood thing for him,” she said of the wall, according to an aide who was present. “As if manhood could ever be associated with him. This wall thing.”

She told colleagues that she was “trying to be the mom” in the room while Trump and Schumer bickered about the funding showdown, interrupting Pelosi at times, mansplaining at others.

“I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: You get into a tickle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you,” she said.

December 21: When Nancy Pelosi chided President Trump in the Oval Office last week that he didn’t have the votes in the House to pass a government funding bill that included $5 billion for his border wall, she was probably expecting that Trump’s GOP critics, particularly those on their way out the door, would buck him.

But when House Republican leadership, backed into a corner by the White House and the Freedom Caucus, brought it to the floor Thursday night, all but eight Republicans voted in favor of a temporary spending bill that would avert a shutdown and provide Trump’s wall money. That, coupled with the 20 House Democrats who weren’t there to vote, handed Trump a victory, at least optically, and made Pelosi’s assessment incorrect.

GOP House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) crowed about the misjudgment of Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House minority leader, and said proving her wrong gives “the president a lot more leverage.”

December 22: Schumer and Pelosi chide Trump for triggering shutdown with 'temper tantrum'

Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) castigated President Donald Trump on Saturday for the federal government shutdown that kicked in at the stroke of midnight.

In a joint statement released overnight, both lawmakers pointed their fingers at the commander in chief for what they dubbed “the Trump Government Shutdown.”

“Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House,” they said. “But instead of honoring his responsibility to the American people, President Trump threw a temper tantrum and convinced House Republicans to push our nation into a destructive Trump Shutdown in the middle of the holiday season.

President Trump has said more than 25 times that he wanted a shutdown and now he has gotten what he wanted.”

December 22: With the US under the first day of a partial government shutdown the Senate majority leader said would extend past Christmas, Donald Trump and Democrats sought to apportion the blame.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers were either forced to take unpaid time off or forced to work without pay. The president said they should “call it a Democrat shutdown”.

But Democratic leaders blamed Trump for a “temper tantrum” – and pointed out that only last week, the president said he would welcome a shutdown over border security and would in fact be proud to force one. [See December 11]

May 25: Facebook begins telling users who try to share distorted Nancy Pelosi video that it’s fake

But they still refuse to remove it

"... People who see the video in feed, try to share it from feed, or already shared it are alerted that it’s false.”

The new menu pops up when a user taps the share button, notifying them that there has been new reporting on the video. “Before you share this content, you might want to know that there is additional reporting on this,” the menu reads. It then lists buttons that users can click to read articles from organizations like Factcheck.org, Lead Stories, PolitiFact, the Associated Press, and 20 Minutes. The first button, however, simply allows the user to continue on sharing the video.


Once news broke Thursday that this video was circulating across social media, YouTube decided to remove it. President Donald Trump has also tweeted out the video on his personal Twitter account. Twitter has yet to remove it or provide a public statement regarding that decision.

June 12: Trump Tells ABC: Sure, I’d Collude Again

In a new interview released this afternoon by ABC News, President Trump tells George Stephanopoulos that he’d take information from a foreign government if one offered dirt on his 2020 opponent. “I think you might want to listen, there isn’t anything wrong with listening.”

President Trump rejected the idea that such foreign government interventions amounted to election interference. “It’s not an interference, they have information — I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI — if I thought there was something wrong. But when somebody comes up with oppo research, right, they come up with oppo research, ‘oh let’s call the FBI.’ The FBI doesn’t have enough agents to take care of it. When you go and talk, honestly, to congressman, they all do it, they always have, and that’s the way it is. It’s called oppo research.”

June 13: Pelosi: At Best, Trump Doesn’t Know ‘Difference Between Right And Wrong’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday chalked up President Trump’s foreign dirt remark to the President simply not knowing the difference between right and wrong.

“What the President said last night shows clearly once again, over and over again that he does not know the difference between right and wrong. And that’s probably the nicest thing I can say about him,” she said. “If he doesn’t know the difference, it could explain some of this ridiculous behavior.”

June 13: Republicans lash Trump for being open to foreign oppo

GOP senators vowed they would immediately turn to the FBI if approached with foreign dirt.

Soon after Donald Trump sparked his latest all-consuming controversy, Lindsey Graham spoke to the president and urged him to rethink his willingness to use foreign opposition research against his political opponents.

“The law is pretty clear. You can’t take anything of value from a foreign government,” Graham said he told Trump. “He says, ‘I didn’t say I did.’ I said: ‘Sitting down and talking to somebody’s not a crime, but it’s probably not a good idea. … I don’t agree with you.’”
